Hi. This pull request a robots.txt file to prevent search engines and other web crawlers from indexing the current instance. In the case of alternative frontends, robots are a waste of instance server resources.

Hi, thanks for the PR! I will not accept it however, since this is not, nor has it ever been an issue for Binternet since Binternet is not really used that often nor is it something that gets destroyed with a few Google indexes. (source: amount of traffic my server hits towards pinimg.com, since that's very low...)

Feel free to use this yourself though.

Just do it because it's good practice. The nginx part doesn't really make sense though because it's a static file?
